How to Add Websites to StumbleUpon To get Traffic

StumbleUpon (SU) is one of those websites that I started using from the beginning of my online journey.

I used SU to find many interesting pages and learn things in my interest area. Even before I started blogging, it was Stumble Upon which gave me the true picture of Internet and that learning phase marked a big difference in my life.

Now, it’s a community social bookmarking sites, and when I talk about Social, it means you also have to give something to get.

You need not submit each and every blog post to Stumbleupon. Only the ones which you think are the best ones and is useful for others. Also, it must not be limited to your page. Anything which is worth sharing with others and which you truly like should be shared on Stumble upon.

I have also read that we can generate great amount of traffic from it and reddit, but I haven’t been successful yet. It would be great if you can give some tips or any trick to generate traffic from it.

Use proper tags while submitting your links to Stumble Upon. Send regular messages to your followers in Stumble Upon.
